Summary

Though fully aware that picking up a hitchhiker came with its risks, Vex was more than willing to accept the gamble for the possibility of some extra gas money. Little did she know, it was a decision that would change their lives in ways she never thought possible.--An odd mismatch of college students, professionals, and ex-convicts travel from city to city in an old broken down van affectionately named “Vox Machina”. Although they may be poor and perhaps a tad eccentric, having a good time is their specialty, even if their fun often leads to a little more trouble than they bargained for...

“Vex pinched the joint between her fingers and inhaled deeply, watching the bright orange ember glow hot before ashing it in an ashtray Keyleth had made out of clay. Her eyes drifted toward the horizon as she exhaled a thin ribbon of smoke that mingled with the rest of the haze in the van.”

Summary

Reality returns in a rush, and the stones of the temple are passing cold under her knees, and there’s a tuning fork in her palms. It carries within it that self-same warmth and comfort she’s felt in Sarenrae’s touch, in the glow of her holy symbol, and she knows:

Summary

There are two Scanlans on the ground. They are spooning. One of them is naked.

She has seen stranger things, Pike thinks. But this? This is up there. The Scanlans are holding tightly to each other in the soft grass, and both give out little snores and sniffs simultaneously as they sleep.

Summary

Vax is dead and Pike cannot sleep, so she is hanging from a tree branch by her knees in the Feywild. Somehow, this makes sense to her: Stringbean has been reduced to ash, Vex and Keyleth are breaking and Percy is attempting to hold the both of them together, and there’s a wanna-be-god—no, God—who’s warped himself to the Prime Material plane. May as well turn herself upside down. Fuck all else makes sense right now.

Summary

(It was only ever you, something in the back of her head whispers. She remembers a letter, when he’d hated himself and praised her, and then him shouting at them all, and her weird fucking magic. He has to do this, she’d thought. Like lancing a wound—let the pus and hatred pour out and clean it once it’s over.

Then an entire fucking year passed. He’d come back and damn him, he was still so charming and she didn’t have any control over any of it.)

Summary

Pike desperately wants to talk to Scanlan, wants to ask him out, but she once promised Grog that she wouldn't forgive Scanlan until he was ready too, and this seems like the sort of thing she should discuss with Grog first. But Grog's soul is currently missing and it takes them two long weeks to find it. Scanlan is very charming, and very confusing, and there's still things Pike needs to figure out.

Summary

Three years ago, Scanlan vanished from Greyskull Apartments, leaving only burnt bridges and his old guitar. Yesterday, he resurfaced in police custody, under the watchful eye of Kima and Allura.

The police have a proposition for Pike- a sting, to catch her scamming family and get them off the streets. At the same time, Scanlan is suspected of involvement with a large crime ring in Emon, but he refuses to give up the identity of its leader. The solution? Fake a wedding between Scanlan and Pike, to attract the Trickfoots into town, and hope Scanlan will spill something to one of his oldest friends with enough time.

But as Pike learns the truth of why Scanlan left, their relationship grows more and more complicated, leaving her no easy answers. And while old feelings reignite, the Trickfoots are watching their every step. Pike and Scanlan just may find out how deadly a lie can be.....

Summary

There are two Scanlan Shorthalts. The first is the one the world sees; charming and playful, flirtatious and theatrical. Then there is the other Scanlan. The one that isn’t for show. The one that revealed itself, in bits and pieces, in quiet moments behind the scenes. The one that is only hers.

Summary

After a long week of separation and a bad week of life, Pike looks forward to some much needed TLC. Unfortunately, her boyfriend returns home a bit sicker than she would have liked. But - it’s okay. She’s good at being needed.
